Engineering Design Assistance


Teaming up talented and experienced people with the latest technology is PTA's key to success. Our engineering support comes from project managers who have extensive knowledge about plastics and its applications. They have direct responsibility through the life of a project, providing continued support for design and quality. With a vast knowledge of plastic injection mold manufacturing, they can rapidly define a 3D mold concept that takes into consideration manufacturability, mold flow, mold cooling, and efficient removal of the plastic part from the mold.

PTA is regarded as the company to come to when other suppliers are unable to develop cost-effective solutions. Very often we collaborate with a client and their design firm on a project. We are especially proud of our reputation for excelling in the production and manufacturing of parts that have complex surfaces, and have played an integral role in the success of numerous award-winning designs.

Systems
Clients can directly transfer their CAD files to PTA; our design staff is proficient in several software programs including Pro|ENGINEER, Solidworks, Autocad, Cadkey and Cimatron. To make it easier, customers can forward native files and PTA will complete any needed conversion via file exchange formats such as IGES, Step and Parasolids.

All of PTA's design work is done electronically through our paperless 24-hour system with secure off-site storage backup. In addition, we will individually tailor software to fit the requirements of your product design. Because PTA invests in specialized information technology support, you can be assured that the right solution will be available for your job.

This same individualized approach extends to the people assigned to your project. Because no two programs are ever identical, teams are handpicked to work on projects from start to finish. We pinpoint all opportunities to improve quality, performance and cost before proceeding to design and build. Critical components, dimensions and details — including draft, textures, parting lines, surfaces, cooling and tolerances — are all scrutinized and identified early.

By clearly understanding the application, we are able to suggest improvements in tooling, molding and materials that can save you time and money. Moreover, all of PTA's quotes reflect the total cost of your project; there are no hidden costs or fees.

Molding Analysis
PTA uses a variety of Moldflow® analyses early in the project cycle. Plastics Advisor™ provides a quick assessment of a part's ability to be filled based on specific material grade and gate locations. Parts with fill issues or inconclusive data output may undergo more advanced analysis that takes into account additional variables for more comprehensive results. This is just one more way that PTA is dedicated to producing superior quality plastic parts.
